Spanish Negation & Negative Pronouns

To make a sentence negative, place the word "no" before the verb (i.e. no me gusta = I don't like... no estoy en casa = I am not at home.). When the answer to a question is negative, the word "no" appears twice.

quieres pizza?do you want pizza?

no, no quiero pizza no, I don't want pizza

vas a ir?are you going to go?

no, no voy a ir no, I am not going to go

Here are the key Spanish negatives:

ninguno /a/os/as

none, not any

nadie

no one, nobody

nada

nothing, not anything

tampoco

neither, not either

nunca

never

ni

neither, nor

These negative words can be used along with the word "NO", or alone, placed before the verb.
